Video Surveillance: Video surveillance is the technological method to observe or watch people, nature or other objects that can be normally seen with your eyes but using video recording and/or observation systems. Typically the video can be replayed and viewed frame by frame if needed to allow more time to study the image. Video surveillance is a loose term as surveillance suggests a surreptitious nature. Video surveillance is also used in business processes such as automation and quality control.
